Abstract
OBJECTIVE This article aims to estimate the differences in environmental impact (greenhouse gas [GHG] emissions, land use, energy used, acidification and potential eutrophication) after one year of promoting a Mediterranean diet (MD). METHODS Baseline and 1-year follow-up data from 5800 participants in the PREDIMED-Plus study were used. Each participant's food intake was estimated using validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaires, and the adherence to MD using the Dietary Score. The influence of diet on environmental impact was assessed through the EAT-Lancet Commission tables. The influence of diet on environmental impact was assessed through the EAT-Lancet Commission tables. The association between MD adherence and its environmental impact was calculated using adjusted multivariate linear regression models. RESULTS After one year of intervention, the kcal/day consumed was significantly reduced (-125,1 kcal/day), adherence to a MD pattern was improved (+0,9) and the environmental impact due to the diet was significantly reduced (GHG: -361 g/CO2-eq; Acidification:-11,5 g SO2-eq; Eutrophication:-4,7 g PO4-eq; Energy use:-842,7 kJ; and Land use:-2,2 m2). Higher adherence to MD (high vs. low) was significantly associated with lower environmental impact both at baseline and one year follow-up. Meat products had the greatest environmental impact in all the factors analysed, both at baseline and at one-year follow-up, in spite of the reduction observed in their consumption. CONCLUSIONS A program promoting a MD, after one year of intervention, significantly reduced the environmental impact in all the factors analysed. Meat products had the greatest environmental impact in all the dimensions analysed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the cross-sectional association between baseline depressive symptoms and the presence of type 2 diabetes (T2D), and its association with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and other metabolic variables, and the prospective association of depressive symptoms and HbA1c after 1 year of follow-up. METHODS n = 6224 Mediterranean older adults with overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome (48% females, mean age 64.9 ± 4.9 years) were evaluated in the framework of the PREDIMED-Plus study cohort. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory-II and HbA1c was used to measure metabolic control. RESULTS The presence of T2D increased the likelihood of higher levels of depressive symptoms (χ2 = 15.84, p = 0.001). Polynomial contrast revealed a positive linear relationship (χ2 = 13.49, p = 0.001), the higher the depressive symptoms levels, the higher the prevalence of T2D. Longitudinal analyses showed that the higher baseline depressive symptoms levels, the higher the likelihood of being within the HbA1c ≥ 7% at 1-year level (Wald-χ2 = 24.06, df = 3, p < .001, for the full adjusted model). Additionally, depressive levels at baseline and duration of T2D predicted higher HbA1c and body mass index, and lower physical activity and adherence to Mediterranean Diet at 1 year of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS This study supports an association between T2D and the severity of depressive symptoms, suggesting a worse metabolic control from mild severity levels in the short-medium term, influenced by lifestyle habits related to diabetes care. Screening for depressive symptoms and a multidisciplinary integrative therapeutic approach should be ensured in patients with T2D.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Global health status concerns both the assessment of wellbeing as well as the associated individualized determinants including quality of life and lifestyle factors. This study aimed to evaluate seven cardiometabolic health related scores and the influence, as well as interactions of lifestyle, heart-related and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) factors in order to inform the future implementation of precision public health (PPH). METHODS Data collected from 17,333 participants who were enrolled of the NutrIMDEA study. The data collection period was between May 2020 and November 2020 through an online survey. The baseline questionnaire collected information on socio-demographic data, cardiometabolic history, anthropometric variables and lifestyle aspects. Also, physical and mental component scores of SF12 Health Survey (PCS12/MCS12) were assessed as HRQoL features, which were applied to estimated seven scores (LS7, HLS, 20-years DRS %, FBS, CLI, WAI derived, LWB-I). RESULTS Most indices (except FBS, CLI, 20-years DRS % and WAI derived) showed that cardiometabolic outcomes and HRQoL measures were dependent on interactions by age and sex. The largest ponderal effect was found in PA total and Mediterranean Diet Score (MEDAS-14) interaction using LS7 as reference. However, using LWB-I as standard, the greatest effect was found in the quality-of-life feature MCS12. Noteworthy, LS7 showed good discrimination against PCS12, while LWB-I demonstrated excellent discrimination to MCS12. CONCLUSIONS A major finding was the interplay between MEDAS-14 and PA on the LS7 scale as well as major effects of lifestyle factors and MCS12/PCS12 among scores, which need to be accounted with precision when implementing cardiometabolic screenings with PPH purposes.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the level of pollution, sources and potential risk of heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Mn, Cd, Cr, Ni, Fe and Pb) and arsenic (As) in four dry riverbeds affected by mine tailing, which drain into one of the biggest coastal lagoon of Europe (Mar Menor). El Beal, La Carrasquilla, Las Matildes and Ponce dry riverbeds sediments were sampled along its course (20, 18, 13, 19 samples were collected, respectively), and total/soluble metal(loid)s, water soluble ions, nitrogen, and organic/inorganic carbon contents were analyzed. Spatial distribution, principal component analysis (PCA), hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), contamination factor (Cf), pollution load index (PLI) and potential ecological risk index (RI) were used to identify the possible sources of metal(loid)s and to assess the sediment pollution status. The results showed that the mean total concentrations of As, Cu, Cd, Mn, Zn and Pb exceeded the natural background levels of the study area, with the highest values located close to the mining areas. Correlation and cluster analysis identified that Cd and Zn were associated mainly with anthropogenic activities for all riverbeds, while Cr and Ni come from parent. PLI graded the four riverbeds as contaminated by heavy metals, while RI manifested that 100% of samples located in El Beal, La Carrasquilla and Las Matildes had a significantly high ecological risk. Therefore, this study suggests that mine wastes are the main source of metal(loids) contamination in the dry riverbeds, which results can be used to design actions and measures to reduce the environmental impact of metal(loid)s in the Mar Menor coastal lagoon.

Abstract
Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes are obesity-related health alterations, featuring an ever-increasing prevalence. Besides inadequate feeding patterns, gut microbiota alterations stand out as potential contributors to these metabolic disturbances. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the administration of a probiotic (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG) effectively prevents diet-induced insulin resistance in rats and to compare these potential effects with those exerted by its heat-inactivated parabiotic. For this purpose, 34 male Wistar rats were fed a standard or a high-fat high-fructose diet, alone or supplemented with viable or heat-inactivated Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. The body and white adipose tissue weight increases, induced by the obesogenic diet, were prevented by probiotic and parabiotic administration. The trend towards higher basal glucose levels and significantly higher serum insulin concentration observed in the non-treated animals fed with the obesogenic diet were effectively reverted by both treatments. Similar results were also found for serum adiponectin and leptin, whose levels were brought back by the probiotic and parabiotic administration to values similar to those of the control animals. Noteworthily, parabiotic administration significantly reduced skeletal muscle triglyceride content and activated CPT-1b compared to the non-treated animals. Finally, both treatments enhanced Akt and AS160 phosphorylation in the skeletal muscle compared to the non-treated animals; however, only parabiotic administration increased GLUT-4 protein expression in this tissue. These results suggest that heat-inactivated Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG seem to be more effective than its probiotic of origin in preventing high-fat high-fructose diet-induced insulin resistance in rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Novel findings indicate links between unhealthy lifestyles and depression based on active inflammatory processes. Thus, identifying participants with poor habits could reveal differences in trends of incident depression. This study aimed to examine the association between an objective lifestyle assessment, as measured by the Lifestyle and Well-Being Index (LWB-I), and incident depression in healthy participants of a Spanish cohort. STUDY DESIGN This was a longitudinal analysis of a subsample of 10,063 participants from the Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra cohort study. METHODS Group comparisons and Cox proportional hazard models were conducted using the LWB-I, which categorizes the sample into groups with healthy and unhealthy lifestyles and well-being. The main outcome was incident depression as well as secondary outcomes. RESULTS Those classified to the transition category of LWB-I were associated with a hazard ratio of 0.67 (95% confidence interval: 0.52-0.87), and those in the excellent category showed a hazard ratio of 0.44 (95% confidence interval: 0.33-0.58), which in both groups reflects a significantly lower risk of incident depression compared with the group including those classified in the poor LWB-I level. Moreover, the available sensitivity analyses concerning time of depression diagnosis or antidepressant treatment further supported the role of nutrition and physical activity on incident depression. Interestingly, throughout the follow-up, incident depression was inversely related to healthier daily habits as measured by the LWB-I. CONCLUSIONS A global assessment of lifestyles such as the LWB-I provides valuable insight into the complex relationship between lifestyle factors and their link to depression risk.

Abstract
Portion control tableware has been described as a potentially effective approach for weight management, however the mechanisms by which these tools work remain unknown. We explored the processes by which a portion control (calibrated) plate with visual stimuli for starch, protein and vegetable amounts modulates food intake, satiety and meal eating behaviour. Sixty-five women (34 with overweight/obesity) participated in a counterbalanced cross-over trial in the laboratory, where they self-served and ate a hot meal including rice, meatballs and vegetables, once with a calibrated plate and once with a conventional (control) plate. A sub-sample of 31 women provided blood samples to measure the cephalic phase response to the meal. Effects of plate type were tested through linear mixed-effect models. Meal portion sizes (mean ± SD) were smaller for the calibrated compared with the control plate (served: 296 ± 69 vs 317 ± 78 g; consumed: 287 ± 71 vs 309 ± 79 g respectively), especially consumed rice (69 ± 24 vs 88 ± 30 g) (p < 0.05 for all comparisons). The calibrated plate significantly reduced bite size (3.4 ± 1.0 vs 3.7 ± 1.0 g; p < 0.01) in all women and eating rate (32.9 ± 9.5 vs 33.7 ± 9.2 g/min; p < 0.05), in lean women. Despite this, some women compensated for the reduced intake over the 8 h following the meal. Pancreatic polypeptide and ghrelin levels increased post-prandially with the calibrated plate but changes were not robust. Plate type had no influence on insulin, glucose levels, or memory for portion size. Meal size was reduced by a portion-control plate with visual stimuli for appropriate amounts of starch, protein and vegetables, potentially because of the reduced self-served portion size and the resulting reduced bite size. Sustained effects may require the continued use of the plate for long-term impact.

Abstract
This study describes a new and fast method for separating 210Po from 210Pb and 90Sr, before simultaneously measuring the individual activities of the latter two radionuclides using a plastic scintillation resin (PSresin) in sludge samples taken from a drinking water treatment plant. This method speeds up the analysis process significantly by simultaneously measuring 210Pb and 90Sr in a single step. The method is reproducible and has a relative standard deviation of less than 25% for 210Pb, 210Po and 90Sr. The method was satisfactorily validated with an intercomparison sample and applied to sludge samples from a drinking water treatment plant. The minimum detectable activities for 0.9 g of sludge are 5.5 Bq/kg and 8 Bq/kg for 210Pb and 90Sr respectively when measured for 180 min, and 0.5 Bq/kg for 210Po when measured for 5000 min.

Abstract
AIM To identify Prediabetes (PreD) as early and serious diabetes step using clinical-biochemical characteristics in the population of the Primary Prevention Diabetes Buenos Aires (PPDBA) study. METHODS PPDBA Study evaluated benefits of adopting healthy lifestyles to prevent T2D. It recruited people 45-75 years of age with PreD (impaired fasting glycaemia [IFG], impaired glucose tolerance [IGT] or both, American Diabetes Association criteria), using an opportunistic approach. They completed a FINDRISC questionnaire, and those with a score ≥13 points were invited to participate. When they accepted, we performed an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) with a complete lipid profile and HbA1c while physicians completed a clinical history. We recruited 367 persons, and depending on OGTT results, the sample was divided into normals (NGT), PreD, or with diabetes (last one was excluded in our analysis). Data were statistically analyzed using parametric and nonparametric tests and logistic regression to identify parameters associated with PreD. RESULTS From the recruited (n = 367) 47.7% have NGT, 48.5% PreD and 3.8% unknown T2D (excluded). People with PreD were significantly older, with a higher percentage of overweight/obesity, BMI, and larger waist circumference than NGT. They also showed significantly higher fasting and 2 h post glucose load, HbA1c, and triglyceride levels. No significant differences were recorded in the blood pressure, lipid profile though both groups had abnormally high LDL-c values. They also had a larger percentage of TG/HDL-c ratios (insulin resistance indicator) (55% vs. 37.5%). Logistic regression analysis showed that PreD was significant associated with age, waist circumference, and triglyceride above target values. CONCLUSION Our findings showed that clinical and biochemical parameters were significantly different between people with PreD and those with NGT. This evidence supports the concept that PreD is a serious dysfunction, which should be early diagnosed and treated properly to prevent its transition to T2D and its complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We tested the effects of a weight-loss intervention encouraging energy-reduced MedDiet and physical activity (PA) in comparison to ad libitum MedDiet on COVID-19 incidence in older adults. DESIGN Secondary analysis of PREDIMED-Plus, a prospective, ongoing, multicentre randomized controlled trial. SETTING Community-dwelling, free-living participants in PREDIMED-Plus trial. PARTICIPANTS 6,874 Spanish older adults (55-75 years, 49% women) with overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome. INTERVENTION Participants were randomised to Intervention (IG) or Control (CG) Group. IG received intensive behavioural intervention for weight loss with an energy-reduced MedDiet intervention and PA promotion. CG was encouraged to consume ad libitum MedDiet without PA recommendations. MEASUREMENTS COVID-19 was ascertained by an independent Event Committee until December 31, 2021. COX regression models compared the effect of PREDIMED-Plus interventions on COVID-19 risk. RESULTS Overall, 653 COVID-19 incident cases were documented (IG:317; CG:336) over a median (IQR) follow-up of 5.8 (1.3) years (inclusive of 4.0 (1.2) years before community transmission of COVID-19) in both groups. A significantly lowered risk of COVID-19 incidence was not evident in IG, compared to CG (fully-adjusted HR (95% CI): 0.96 (0.81,1.12)). CONCLUSIONS There was no evidence to show that an intensive weight-loss intervention encouraging energy-reduced MedDiet and PA significantly lowered COVID-19 risk in older adults with overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome in comparison to ad libitum MedDiet. Recommendations to improve adherence to MedDiet provided with or without lifestyle modification suggestions for weight loss may have similar effects in protecting against COVID-19 risk in older adults with high cardiovascular risks.

Abstract
To fully understand the causes and mechanisms involved in overeating and obesity, measures of both cognitive and physiological determinants of eating behavior need to be integrated. Effectively synchronizing behavioral measures such as meal micro-structure (e.g., eating speed), cognitive processing of sensory stimuli, and metabolic parameters, can be complex. However, this step is central to understanding the impact of food interventions on body weight. In this paper, we provide an overview of the existing gaps in eating behavior research and describe the development and validation of a new methodological platform to address some of these issues. As part of a controlled trial, 76 men and women self-served and consumed food from a buffet, using a portion-control plate with visual stimuli for appropriate amounts of main food groups, or a conventional plate, on two different days, in a random order. In both sessions participants completed behavioral and cognitive tests using a novel methodological platform that measured gaze movement (as a proxy for visual attention), eating rate and bite size, memory for portion sizes, subjective appetite and portion-size perceptions. In a sub-sample of women, hormonal secretion in response to the meal was also measured. The novel platform showed a significant improvement in meal micro-structure measures from published data (13 vs. 33% failure rate) and high comparability between an automated gaze mapping protocol vs. manual coding for eye-tracking studies involving an eating test (ICC between methods 0.85; 90% CI 0.74, 0.92). This trial was registered at Clinical Trials.gov with Identifier NCT03610776.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Does exist a correlation between the presence of D19S884 allele 8 (A8) and Hippo pathway dysregulation with the metabolic and ovarian PCOS profiles?
Summary answer
The presence of the A8 allele affects insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism. Moreover, PCOS ovarian phenotype could be related to a dysregulation of Hippo pathway genes.
What is known already
The specific D19S884 A8 allele of the FBN3 gene has been associated with an increased probability of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). D19S884 participates in FBN3 alternative splicing and produces Asprosin-3 and Fibrilin-3 proteins that may be related to PCOS clinical manifestations. Asprosin-3 has been recently identified as a glucose modulator and could be related to metabolic profiles of PCOS. Fibrilin-3 is an extracellular matrix protein, and together with a dysregulation of the Hippo pathway, could be responsible for constraining follicular growth in the PCOS ovaries.
Study design, size, duration
Descriptive and cross-sectional study with 93 women (25-37 years old) undergoing an IVF cycle between 2019 and 2021 at Hospital la Fe (Valencia, Spain). Thirty patients were considered PCOS while the remaining sixty-three were non-PCOS controls. After recruitment women were screened for A8 allele, metabolic status, hormone profile and Hippo pathway genes. The IVF cycle parameters were recorded to determine their relationship with study variables.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Patients with two or more Rotterdam-criteria or with polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM) were considered as PCOS. After signed informed consent, blood samples and cumulus cells were obtained at egg retrieval. Hormone and metabolic parameters were analyzed and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) established. Genomic DNA was isolated to assess the presence of A8 allele by capillary electrophoresis. The expression of Hippo pathway genes, BIRC1 and CCN2, was analyzed by Taqman qPCR assay.
Main results and the role of chance
PCOS patients showed increased body mass index (Control:23.2±3.7; PCOS:25.3±4.5, p = 0.04) antimüllerian hormone levels (Control:17.7±7.7pmol/L; PCOS:39.7±22.9pmol/L, p = 0.00), antral follicle count (Control:15±7; PCOS:27±13, p = 0.001) and a reduced number of good quality embryos (Control:1.3±0.9; PCOS:0.8±1.0, p = 0.02).
The A8 allele was detected in 15% of the recruited patients, with a 13% incidence in controls and 19% in PCOS. Interestingly, PCOS A8+ patients presented the PCOM phenotype. Women with the A8 allele (A8+) showed higher DHEAS levels (A8-:1899.7±1256.9; A8+:2642.5±555.2, p = 0.046) and free androgen index (A8-:1.1±0.8; A8+:2.0±1.2, p = 0.046) when compared to A8- ones. Similar results were obtained when the comparison was made according to clinical diagnose (Control A8+ vs. Control A8- and PCOS A8+ vs PCOS A8-). Moreover, the overall A8+ patients associated an increase in glucose levels (A8-:85.7±10.9mg/dL; A8+:93.0±6.01mg/dL, p = 0.02) and HOMA-IR (A8-:1.7±1.1; A8+:2.5±1.2). These metabolic findings were observed in control women with the allele but not in PCOS.
The PCOS group showed a downregulation of CCN2 (Fold-change (FC): -3.8±9.1, p = 0.02) in cumulus cells. Interestingly, those women with the A8 allele showed downregulated BIRC1 levels (FC A8+: -2.7±4.8 and A8-: 0.2±2.7; p = 0.04). These gene dysregulations could be related with a deficient oocyte-cumulus communication, abnormal follicular growth and an ovarian stroma stiffness alteration.
Limitations, reasons for caution
These promising results need to be confirmed in a larger population of PCOS to allow validation of the observed effects according to PCOS sub-phenotypes. Moreover, transcriptomic analysis and functional enrichment assays should be carried out to clarify the contribution of Hippo pathway and A8 allele to PCOS pathogenesis.
Wider implications of the findings
The obtained results suggest that the presence of the A8 allele influences the metabolic profile related to insulin resistance and androgen levels, as well as the activation status of Hippo pathway. Moreover, this signaling pathway seems to be dysregulated in PCOS patients, suggesting its possible role in the ovarian phenotype.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis has been said to be associated with increased mortality. On the other hand, it is debated whether treatment with bisphosphonates may reduce mortality in osteoporotic patients. To contribute to the clarification of these issues, we have studied in a prospective cohort the mortality in people without osteoporosis and in patients with osteoporosis, untreated or treated with bisphosphonates MATERIAL AND METHODS: At their inclusion in the cohort, four groups of participants were identified: (a) people without osteoporosis (group 1); (b) osteoporotic patients treated with bisphosphonates (group 2); (c) osteoporotic patients who refused to be treated (group 3); and (d) patients who met osteoporosis diagnostic criteria but were not treated because their risk of fracture was considered to be low (group 4). To compare all four groups, unadjusted Kaplan-Meier estimates of survivorship were obtained and they were compared using log-rank test. Hazard ratios were then estimated via Cox regression adjusting for the main confounders. A comparison among the osteoporotic groups was made by means of a Cox regression analysis performed using only these three groups, adjusting for propensity scores. RESULTS Two thousand six hundred and sixty-five people were included. In the unadjusted analysis, mortality in group 3 was higher than in the other groups (p < 0.001). Taking group 1 as a reference, Cox regression analysis showed the following mortality HRs for groups 2, 3, and 4 after adjusting for confounding factors: 0.82 (0.41-1.63), 1.37 (0.90-2.10), and 0.69 (0.46-1.02). In the analysis of the osteoporotic groups with the PS generated for them, and taking group 2 as a reference, the HRs were as follows: group 3, 2.38 (1.34-4.22); group 4, 1.45 (0.61-3.43). CONCLUSION Mortality in osteoporotic patients who refused treatment is higher than in osteoporotic patients treated with bisphosphonates. In unadjusted analysis, it was also higher than in non-osteoporotic people; however, this difference disappeared after adjustment for confounding factors.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Could controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) protocols used in fertility preservation (FP) impact on malignant cell proliferation and tumour molecular profiling of breast cancer (BC) patients?
Summary answer
Letrozole supplementation during ovarian stimulation for oocyte vitrification could be considered as a safe procedure in estrogen-dependent BC patients undergoing FP.
What is known already
High estradiol levels associated to COS could promote changes in gene expression in estrogen-positive BC tumors. Estradiol levels reached during the ovarian stimulation could aggressively promote malignant cell proliferation and cell migration to adjacent organs. Aromatase inhibitors such as letrozole, are added to standard stimulation protocols to avoid this undesirable potential side effect. Despite the reassuring clinical results achieved by using letrozole for FP in BC patients, there is still a lack of evidence regarding its impact on malignant cell behaviour. For this reason, specific molecular studies to properly evaluate safety of letrozole in this specific population are still required.
Study design, size, duration
Experimental in vivo study. Thirty 5-week-old Nude-nu female mice were divided into three different groups: BC (n = 10), BC and FSH stimulation (BC-FSH, n = 10), or BC and letrozole stimulation (BC-LTZ, n = 10). BC was considered the control group, whereas BC-FSH and BC-LTZ represented distinct COS protocols. Hormone-dependent BC was induced in all mice. Animals were followed-up for 5 months and then euthanized to collect kidney, ovary, spleen, and liver tissues for gene expression and immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
One million of human MCF–7 BC cells were injected into the mouse left kidney capsule. Two days after xenograft, COS was induced by 10IU FSH or 1mg/ml letrozole + 10IU FSH, followed by ovarian triggering with 10IU hCG at 48h. Human BC RT2 Profiler PCR Arrays were performed to evaluate the impact of COS on tumour behaviour. BC biomarkers (Ki67, Erα, PR and HER–2) were also analyzed by IHC to validate gene expression results.
Main results and the role of chance
The differential gene expression was firstly assessed in kidney samples, as they represent the xenograft site, and different expression profiles were obtained depending on the COS protocol used. The BC-FSH group showed a global over-expression pattern of all genes of the array when compared to BC and BC-LTZ. Further gene ontology analysis revealed that cellular process, biological regulation, metabolic process, and proteases were the most over-represented biological terms, with a 20.5-fold over-expression for MMP2 compared to the other groups. On the other hand, BC-LTZ mice presented gene expression profiles similar to that of controls. When other tissues were analysed to detect malignant cell presence, our results revealed a significant up-regulation of matrix-proteases, cell cycle and proliferation related-genes, in liver samples from the BC-FSH group, but no amplification of any of the studied genes was detected in ovarian tissue or spleen. IHC findings confirmed the presence of human BC cells in 100% of samples from kidney tissue and in 30% of samples from liver tissue in the BC-FSH group. No human cells were detected by IHC in the BC and BC-LTZ groups.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Since this is an animal model of estrogen-dependent BC induced through a cell line, further validation with human tumour breast cancer samples would be required.
Wider implications of the findings: Adjuvant letrozole in COS protocols prevents BC cell migration. The present study suggests that this protective effect could be mediated by interfering ER-pathway downstream genes involved in cell proliferation and matrix digestion. Altogether, letrozole could safely be used as a supplement during COS procedures for oocyte vitrification in BC women.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Does Luteinizing Hormone (LH) protect the follicular endowment and growth by improving oocyte-granulosa cell (GC) communication of follicles exposed to chemotherapy at the primordial stage?
Summary answer
LH treatment protects mouse primordial follicles against alkylating agents by preventing the chemotherapy-induced follicular depletion and the impairment of oocyte-GC communication during follicular growth.
What is known already
Impaired folliculogenesis is one of the most common deleterious side effects of alkylating agents in ovaries. Bidirectional communication between the oocyte and surrounding GCs is crucial for oocyte development. Therefore, defective gap junctions and reduced oocyte-derived factors compromise folliculogenesis, oocyte competence and meiotic maturation.
Previous findings reported a significant LH protection of follicular viability and meiotic potential of MII oocytes exposed to chemotherapy at primordial stage. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the LH effects on cell junctions and communication between oocyte and GCs in growing follicles derived from quiescent oocytes exposed to alkylating chemotherapy.
Study design, size, duration
Adult 6-week-old CD1 female mice were allocated to control (n = 3), chemotherapy (ChT, n = 5) and ChT+LH (n = 5) groups. Chemotherapy (120 mg/Kg of cyclophosphamide and 12 mg/Kg of busulfan) was intraperitoneally administrated to ChT and ChT+LH mice. ChT+LH animals were pretreated with 1 IU of LH, followed by a second LH dose (1 IU) along with chemotherapy 24 hours later. Control mice only received vehicle (DMSO). Mice were euthanized 30 days later to collect ovaries.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Follicles were mechanically isolated by puncture with 30-gauge needles from frozen-thawed half-ovaries. Isolated follicles measuring ≥100µm were selected to represent the secondary and later developmental stages. Part of them were kept intact while others were decumulated by using narrow pipettes to obtain denuded oocytes (DOs), and GCs. Follicles, ODs and GCs were analyzed by qRT-PCR to evaluate key factors in oocyte-GC junctions (Cx37, Cx43, Cdh1, Cdh2, Tjp1) and communication (Gdf9, Bmp15, Bmpr2, Alk4, Alk5, Alk6).
Main results and the role of chance
Chemotherapy induced a 2.1-fold reduction in the number of total isolated follicles (p = 0.036), reducing 2.7-fold the number of primordial and primary follicles (<100 µm; p = 0.034) and 1.9-fold the amount of growing follicles (≥100 µm; p = 0.036) compared to controls. LH-treated ovaries showed a 1.6-fold increase in the total follicle isolation yield when compared to ChT (p = 0.032), recovering control-like values (p=ns). This LH protection specially benefited the early-stage follicles (<100 µm), where a 1.9-fold increase in the number of isolated follicles was detected compared to ChT group (p = 0.016).
Gene expression analysis of follicles (n = 168), DOs (n = 110) and GCs (from n = 153 follicles) revealed a global downregulation pattern in ChT samples for all genes, when compared to controls, with a significant fold change (FC) reduction for Gdf9 in follicles (FC: 0.36±0.16); Cx37, Cdh2 and Gdf9 in DOs (FC: 0.23±0.17, 0.09±0.03, and 0.17±0.07, respectively); and Cx37, Cx43, Gdf9 and Bmp15 in GCs (FC: 0.40±0.23, 0.17±0.07, 0.17±0.08, and 0.04±0.01, respectively). However, LH treated samples showed an overall improvement of gene expression pattern reaching control-like levels for all genes excepting for a downregulation of the Bmp15 expression in GC (FC: 0.28±0.24; p = 0.036).
Limitations, reasons for caution
Animal model study performed with a reduced sample size. Therefore, these findings should be validated in further studies with human tissue samples.
Wider implications of the findings: Our findings suggest that LH treatment prevents the chemotherapy-induced follicle depletion. The LH protection of primordial population seems to preserve its ability to properly establish oocyte-GC interactions during growth and development, which is required to regulate follicular maturation and oocyte competence.

Abstract
PURPOSE SBRT (stereotactic body radiation therapy) is widely used as a curative treatment in tumoral lesions and has become a fundamental tool for the treatment of spine metastasis. In this study, we present survival and toxicity outcomes of spine SBRT after a 2-year follow-up. METHODS/PATIENTS Data from spine SBRT treatments performed at our institution between March 2012 and February 2020 was collected. Medical records, including demographic, primary tumor, and treatment characteristics were reviewed. Patient follow-up included clinical evaluation, imaging, and blood tests. Toxicity was recorded according to CTCAE v4.0. RESULTS We analyzed 73 consecutive spine SBRT treatments in 60 patients. 39.7% of the cases had primary breast cancer and 23.3% had prostate cancer. Most cases (87.7%) were treated with a single SBRT fraction of 16 Gy. Median follow-up was 26.1 months (range 1.7-78.6), and 1- and 2-year overall survival (OS) rates were 96.9% and 84.2%, respectively. Local control (LC) rates at 1- and 2-years were 76.3% and 70.6%, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified histology as a prognostic factor for both OS and LC. Patients who underwent spine SBRT 6 months after the spinal lesion diagnosis had LC at 2 years of 88%, vs 61.7% for those who underwent SBRT before this period. No grade III or higher toxicity was reported. The vertebral compression fracture (VCF) rate was 4.1%. CONCLUSION Spine SBRT at our institution showed a 2-year LC of 70.6%, without G3 toxicities. Delaying SBRT at least 6 months to administer systemic treatment was related to an improvement in local control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study aims to describe characteristics and clinical outcome of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection that received siltuximab according to a protocol that aimed to early block the activity of IL-6 to avoid the progression of the inflammatory flare. METHODS Retrospective review of the first 31 patients with SARS-CoV-2 treated with siltuximab, in Hospital Clinic of Barcelona or Hospital Universitario Salamanca, from March to April 2020 with positive polymerase-chain reaction (PCR) from a nasopharyngeal swab. RESULTS The cohort included 31 cases that received siltuximab with a median (IQR) age of 62 (56-71) and 71% were males. The most frequent comorbidity was hypertension (48%). The median dose of siltuximab was 800 mg ranging between 785 and 900 mg. 7 patients received siltuximab as a salvage therapy after one dose of tocilizumab. At the end of the study, a total of 26 (83.9) patients had been discharged alive and the mortality rate was 16.1% but only 1 out of 24 that received siltuximab as a first line option (4%). CONCLUSIONS Siltuximab is a well-tolerated alternative to tocilizumab when administered as a first line option in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia within the first 10 days from symptoms onset and high C-reactive protein.

Abstract
AbstractSeveral challenges exist for referral and transport of critically ill children in resource-limited regions such as Latin America; however, little is known about factors associated with clinical outcomes. Thus, we aimed to describe the characteristics of critically ill children in Latin America transferred to pediatric intensive care units for acute respiratory failure to identify risk factors for mortality. We analyzed data from 2,692 patients admitted to 28 centers in the Pediatric Collaborative Network of Latin America Acute Respiratory Failure Registry. Among patients referred from another facility (773, 28%), nonurban transports were independently associated with mortality (adjusted odds ratio = 9.4; 95% confidence interval: 2.4–36.3).

Abstract
Background There are no clear criteria for antifungal de-escalation after initial empirical treatments. We hypothesized that early de-escalation (ED) (within 5 days) to fluconazole is safe in fluconazole-susceptible candidemia with controlled source of infection. Methods This is a multicenter post hoc study that included consecutive patients from 3 prospective candidemia cohorts (2007–2016). The impact of ED and factors associated with mortality were assessed. Results Of 1023 candidemia episodes, 235 met inclusion criteria. Of these, 54 (23%) were classified as the ED group and 181 (77%) were classified as the non-ED group. ED was more common in catheter-related candidemia (51.9% vs 31.5%; P = .006) and episodes caused by Candida parapsilosis, yet it was less frequent in patients in the intensive care unit (24.1% vs 39.2%; P = .043), infections caused by Nakaseomyces glabrata (0% vs 9.9%; P = .016), and candidemia from an unknown source (24.1% vs 47%; P = .003). In the ED and non-ED groups, 30-day mortality was 11.1% and 29.8% (P = .006), respectively. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (odds ratio [OR], 3.97; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.48–10.61), Pitt score > 2 (OR, 4.39; 95% CI, 1.94–9.20), unknown source of candidemia (OR, 2.59; 95% CI, 1.14–5.86), candidemia caused by Candida albicans (OR, 3.92; 95% CI, 1.48–10.61), and prior surgery (OR, 0.29; 95% CI, 0.08–0.97) were independent predictors of mortality. Similar results were found when a propensity score for receiving ED was incorporated into the model. ED had no significant impact on mortality (OR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.16–1.53). Conclusions Early de-escalation is a safe strategy in patients with candidemia caused by fluconazole-susceptible strains with controlled source of bloodstream infection and hemodynamic stability. These results are important to apply antifungal stewardship strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To know the percentage of adolescent patients at risk of developing an eating disorder (ED); to identify the prevalence of risk for Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa and Unspecified Eating Disorders (NERD) according to age, sex, health centers, nationality and family data; determine the percentage of young people with subclinical forms and study the feasibility of using tools for the early detection of this pathology in Primary Care. MATERIAL AND METHODS Observational, cross-sectional and multicentre study developed in the five health centers of the city of Guadalajara. Sample of 291 adolescents (124 males and 167 females) obtained through stratified, multi-stage and proportional random sampling according to age, sex and health centers. Sociodemographic, anthropometric and family variables were studied and the EAT-26, SCOFF and EDE-Q6.0 tests were applied in the first round and the EDE-12 interview in the second round. RESULTS The global prevalence of risk of eating disorders was 17.5% (95% CI: 13.7%-19.4%). The variables, having siblings, being single-parent and having obesity were statistically significant. Among the various types of EDs, the NERD were statistically significant with respect to Anorexia and Bulimia. The subscale concern for the silhouette was statistically significant with respect to the others. The SCOFF questionnaire showed a sensitivity of 91.6% and a specificity of 91.0% and the EDE-Q, 99.3% and 91.7% respectively. CONCLUSIONS High percentage of adolescents at risk of developing an eating disorder. The unspecified type of eating disorders and the concern for the silhouette subscale predominate. The SCOFF test proves to be a good screening instrument in Primary Care.

Abstract
Objectives In some patients the immune response triggered by SARS-CoV-2 is unbalanced, presenting an acute respiratory distress syndrome which in many cases requires intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The limitation of ICU beds has been one of the major burdens in the management around the world; therefore, clinical strategies to avoid ICU admission are needed. We aimed to describe the influence of tocilizumab on the need of transfer to ICU or death in non-critically ill patients. Material and methods A retrospective study of 171 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection that did not qualify as requiring transfer to ICU during the first 24h after admission to a conventional ward, were included. The criteria to receive tocilizumab was radiological impairment, oxygen demand or an increasing of inflammatory parameters, however, the ultimate decision was left to the attending physician judgement. The primary outcome was the need of ICU admission or death whichever came first. Results A total of 77 patients received tocilizumab and 94 did not. The tocilizumab group had less ICU admissions (10.3% vs. 27.6%, P=0.005) and need of invasive ventilation (0 vs 13.8%, P=0.001). In the multivariable analysis, tocilizumab remained as a protective variable (OR: 0.03, CI 95%: 0.007-0.1, P=0.0001) of ICU admission or death. Conclusions Tocilizumab in early stages of the inflammatory flare could reduce an important number of ICU admissions and mechanical ventilation. The mortality rate of 10.3% among patients receiving tocilizumab appears to be lower than other reports. This is a non-randomized study and the results should be interpreted with caution.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a major worldwide health disorder. There is an increasing number of neurological complications recognized with COVID-19 including patients with GBS and its variants. DEVELOPMENT A review of the clinical cases of GBS associated to COVID-19 infection published in the last months has been developed. We included 48 patients (31 men, mean age 56.4 years). The most common COVID-19 symptoms were cough (60.4%) and fever (56.3%). Mean time from COVID-19 symptoms to neurologic manifestations was 12.1 days, but in nine patients (18.8%) developed GBS within seven days. Eleven patients (22.9%) presented cranial nerve involvement in the absence of muscle weakness; 36 presented the classic sensory motor variant (75%) and one had a pure motor variant (2.1%). The electrodiagnostic pattern was considered demyelinating in 82.4% of the generalized variants. The presence of hyposmia/dysgeusia was associated with a latency shorter than seven days to GBS onset of symptoms (30% vs 15.6%), and cranial nerve involvement in the absence of weakness (30.8% vs 17.1%). Most patients (87.5%) were treated with intravenous immunoglobulin. Neurological outcome was favorable in 64.6%; 29.2% had respiratory failure and 4.2% died shortly after being admitted. CONCLUSIONS GBS in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection resembles clinically and electrophysiology the classical forms. Further studies are necessary to understand whether GBS frequency is actually increased due to SARS-CoV-2 infection and explore pathogenic mechanisms.

Abstract
Objective Controversial results on remdesivir efficacy have been reported. We aimed to report our real-life experience with the use of remdesivir from its availability in Spain. Methods We performed a descriptive study of all patients admitted for ≥48 hours with confirmed COVID-19 who received remdesivir between the 1st of July and the 30th of September 2020. Results A total of 123 patients out of 242 admitted with COVID-19 at our hospital (50.8%) received remdesivir. Median age was 58 years, 61% were males and 56.9 % received at least one anti-inflammatory treatment. No adverse events requiring remdesivir discontinuation were reported. The need of intensive care unit admission, mechanical ventilation and 30-days mortality were 19.5%, 7.3% and 4.1%, respectively. Conclusion In our real-life experience, the use of remdesivir in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 was associated with a low mortality rate and good safety profile.

Abstract
The present work discusses symmetry-breaking-induced bidirectional escape from a symmetric metastable potential well by the application of zero-average periodic forces in the presence of dissipation. We characterized the interplay between heteroclinic instabilities leading to chaotic escape and breaking of a generalized parity symmetry leading to directed ratchet escape to an attractor either at ∞ or at -∞. Optimal enhancement of directed ratchet escape is found to occur when the wave form of the zero-average periodic force acting on the damped driven oscillator matches as closely as possible to a universal wave form, as predicted by the theory of ratchet universality. Specifically, the optimal approximation to the universal force triggers the almost complete destruction of the nonescaping basin for driving amplitudes which are systematically lower than those corresponding to a symmetric periodic force having the same period. We expect that this work could be potentially useful in the control of elementary dynamic processes characterized by multidirectional escape from a potential well, such as forced chaotic scattering and laser-induced dissociation of molecular systems, among others.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) located in the jejunum or ileum (JI-GIST) are considered worse prognosis compared to those of gastric (G-GIST) location. It has been suggested that this dogma should be revised. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of jejunoileal GISTs and its prognosis and to compare them with G-GISTs in the era of imatinib. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical histories of all the patients diagnosed with GISTs between January 2000 and November 2016: Clinical and pathological data, as recurrence, metastatic state, disease-free survival (DFS) as well as overall survival (OS) rates of patients were reviewed. RESULTS JI-GIST patients comprise 29 cases (37.7%). Compared to G-GIST, JI-GIST patients had undergone emergency surgery more frequently (37.9% vs. 10.4%, p = 0.007). According to the NIH-Fletcher classification, the low or very-low risk group represents 17.2% of JI-GISTs as opposed to 37.6% of G-GISTs (p < 0.005). When the AFIP-Miettinen system was used the low or very-low group represented 17.2% of JI-GISTs vs. 58.4% in the G-GISTs group (p < 0.001). Both local recurrence (24.1% vs. 12.5%, p < 0.05) and metastatic rate (34.5% vs. 22.9%, p < 0.05) were higher in the JI-GIST group than in G-GIST. 5- and 10-year DFS and 10-year OS rate were lower for JI-GIST (54.5% and 39.6% vs. 77.2% and 60.8%, and 57.9% vs. 65%, respectively, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The observed differences between both groups in DFS and OS rates at long term could be attributed to the effect of imatinib.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) after Fontan surgery carries significant morbimortality. Its pathophysiology and association with other Fontan complications are poorly understood. Our aims were to examine whether Fontan-PLE is associated with greater liver damage and to assess the presence of systemic and intestinal inflammation. METHODS Fontan patients with PLE and Fontan controls without PLE matched for age and Fontan surgery procedure were included. Data were prospectively compiled on blood and stool tests, liver imaging, elastography, cardiac-MRI and cardiac catheterization. RESULTS Twenty-nine Fontan patients were enrolled (14 with PLE and 15 controls without PLE). Patients with PLE had more advanced liver disease estimated by non-invasive methods: blunt liver margins on ultrasonography (71.4% vs 26.7%, P = .027), greater median liver stiffness (25.4 vs 14.5 kPa, P = .003) and higher FIB-4 (P = .016). Portal hypertension-related signs were more common in patients with PLE including ascites (P = .035), larger spleen size (P = .005), oesophageal varices/splanchnic collateral shunts (P = .03), higher liver stiffness-spleen size-to-platelet ratio risk score (P < .001) and lower platelet count (P = .01). Systemic proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, interleukin-6), biomarkers of intestinal permeability (intestinal fatty-acid binding protein) and faecal calprotectin concentrations were also significantly increased in Fontan-PLE (P < .05). Faecal calprotectin directly correlated with alpha-1 antitrypsin clearance and inversely with cardiac index, total serum proteins and body mass index. CONCLUSION Fontan-PLE is associated with advanced liver disease and increased markers of systemic inflammation and intestinal permeability. Faecal calprotectin is elevated and correlates with Fontan-PLE severity. Liver assessment is mandatory in all Fontan patients, and especially in those with PLE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recent publications report early discharge and low opioid requirements after minimally invasive pectus excavatum repair treated with bilateral intercostal nerve cryoablation. Our aim is to report our initial experience with this technique. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of medical records of patients undergoing bilateral thoracoscopic cryoanalgesia during minimally invasive pectus excavatum repair within our institution from September 2018 to March 2019. TECHNIQUE A cryoprobe was applied at -70 ºC for 2 minutes each from the 3rd to the 7th intercostal nerves bilaterally under thoracoscopic control. Postoperative pain was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS). RESULTS Twenty-one patients were included. Ninety percent were male, the mean age being 15.2 ± 4.29 years, and the mean weight being 53.6 ± 15.33 kg. The average Haller index was 5.1 ± 2.97, and the mean repair index was 37.6 ± 13.77%. The mean number of implants introduced was 2.55 ± 0.74. The mean duration of cryoanalgesia was 39.9 ± 21.1. No patients received epidural anesthesia. Mean postoperative stay was 1.64 ± 0.73 days. Seventy-one percent of the patients required 1 dose of opioids at the most for postoperative pain control. According to the VAS, the average pain score on postoperative days 1, 3, 7, and 21 was 2.55, 2.01, 0.5, and 0.06, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Bilateral thoracoscopic cryoanalgesia during minimally invasive pectus excavatum repair leads to early discharge and good postoperative pain control in all cases. Cryoanalgesia has become our treatment of choice for pain control in the thoracoscopic repair of pectus excavatum.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early readmissions (ER) occur during the 30 days after discharge, ER are common and expensive, associated with a decrease in the quality of care. The rate of ER in polytraumatic patients (PTP) is estimated between 4.3-15%. Our objective was to identify those factors associated with ER and its characteristics after suffering mild-moderate trauma in our area. MATERIAL AND METHOD This is a retrospective observational study, including data of patients with (PTP) mild or moderate admitted between July 2012 and June 2017 in our institution and their ER in public hospitals and/or outpatient centers. Demographic variables, diagnoses, procedures and characteristics of readmissions were collected. After a bivariant analysis was done, a Logistic regression had benn performed to determine risk factors for ER. RESULTS 1013 patients were included, with median age of 38 years, ISS of 3 points and initial hospital stay of 1 day. 185 patients were readmitted (18.3%). Independent factors associated with ER were: injury mechanism, especially bicycle accident (OR 2.26), comorbidities highlighting HBP (OR 1.83) and COPD (OR 1.98), fracture immobilization (OR 1.99) and hospital admission in the initial care (OR 0.56). The causes of ER were: pain 61.6%, wound infection 15.1%, scheduled cures and deferred interventions 12.97%, medical 6.4% and psychiatric decompensation. 2.7% CONCLUSION: The ERs in mild-moderate PTP are multifactorial, our results show an association between factors such as injury mechanism, the presence of comorbidities and the procedures performed in the sentinel episode and the rate of ER. The implementation of simple interventions at discharge could reduce its incidence clearly.

Abstract
AbstractBackgroundCandidaemia is a leading cause of bloodstream infections in hospitalized patients all over the world. It remains associated with high mortality.ObjectivesTo assess the impact of implementing an evidence-based package of measures (bundle) on the quality of care and outcomes of candidaemia.MethodsA systematic review of the literature was performed to identify measures related to better outcomes in candidaemia. Eight quality-of-care indicators (QCIs) were identified and a set of written recommendations (early treatment, echinocandins in septic shock, source control, follow-up blood culture, ophthalmoscopy, echocardiography, de-escalation, length of treatment) was prospectively implemented. The study was performed in 11 tertiary hospitals in Spain. A quasi-experimental design before and during bundle implementation (September 2016 to February 2018) was used. For the pre-intervention period, data from the prospective national surveillance were used (May 2010 to April 2011).ResultsA total of 385 and 263 episodes were included in the pre-intervention and intervention groups, respectively. Adherence to all QCIs improved in the intervention group. The intervention group had a decrease in early (OR 0.46; 95% CI 0.23–0.89; P = 0.022) and overall (OR 0.61; 95% CI 0.4–0.94; P = 0.023) mortality after controlling for potential confounders.ConclusionsImplementing a structured, evidence-based intervention bundle significantly improved patient care and early and overall mortality in patients with candidaemia. Institutions should embrace this objective strategy and use the bundle as a means to measure high-quality medical care of patients.

Abstract
Background Chronic illnesses like obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular diseases, are worldwide major causes of morbidity and mortality. These pathological conditions involve interactions between environmental, genetic, and epigenetic factors. Recent advances in nutriepigenomics are contributing to clarify the role of some nutritional factors, including dietary fatty acids in gene expression regulation. This systematic review assesses currently available information concerning the role of the different fatty acids on epigenetic mechanisms that affect the development of chronic diseases or induce protective effects on metabolic alterations. Methods A targeted search was conducted in the PubMed/Medline databases using the keywords “fatty acids and epigenetic”. The data were analyzed according to the PRISMA-P guidelines. Results Consumption fatty acids like n-3 PUFA: EPA and DHA, and MUFA: oleic and palmitoleic acid was associated with an improvement of metabolic alterations. On the other hand, fatty acids that have been associated with the presence or development of obesity, T2D, pro-inflammatory profile, atherosclerosis and IR were n-6 PUFA, saturated fatty acids (stearic and palmitic), and trans fatty acids (elaidic), have been also linked with epigenetic changes. Conclusions Fatty acids can regulate gene expression by modifying epigenetic mechanisms and consequently result in positive or negative impacts on metabolic outcomes.

Abstract
SCOPE To study the effects of Maresin 1 (MaR1), a docosahexaenoic-acid-derived lipid mediator, on fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) production and to characterize the tissue-specific regulation of Fgf21 and its signaling pathway in liver, skeletal muscle, and white adipose tissue (WAT). METHODS AND RESULTS Diet-induced obese (DIO) mice are treated with MaR1 (50 µg kg-1 , 10 days, oral gavage) and serum FGF21 levels and liver, muscle and WAT Fgf21, β-Klotho, Fgfr1, Egr1, and cFos mRNA expression are evaluated. Additionally, MaR1 effects are tested in mouse primary hepatocytes, HepG2 human hepatocytes, C2C12 myotubes, and 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In DIO mice, MaR1 decreases circulating FGF21 levels and HFD-induced hepatic Fgf21 mRNA expression. MaR1 increases hepatic β-Klotho, Egr1, and cFos in DIO mice. In WAT, MaR1 counteracts the HFD-induced downregulation of Fgf21, Fgfr1, and β-Klotho. In muscle, MaR1 does not modify Fgf21 but promoted Fgfr1 expression. In mouse primary hepatocytes, MaR1 decreases Fgf21 expression and downregulated Pparα mRNA levels. In HepG2 cells, MaR1 reverses the increased production of FGF21 and the downregulation of FGFR1, Β-KLOTHO, EGR1, and cFOS induced by palmitate. Preincubation with a PPARα antagonist prevents MaR1 effects on FGF21 secretion. CONCLUSION The ability of MaR1 to modulate FGF21 can contribute to its beneficial metabolic effects.

Abstract
Medical radionuclides are widely used in nuclear medicine practices today. Their production, handling and administration have different impacts on the environment and society due to the radioactive waste generated. Over recent years authors have taken an interest in the monitoring and safe disposal of this radiopharmaceutical waste, mainly in environmental and biological samples, and consequently a variety of radioanalytical methods for these matrices have been developed. The present review aims to outline the state of the art and the latest trends reported in the literature from 2007 to the present, focusing on the occurrence and determination of medical radionuclides in environmental and biological samples. Special attention is given to critically discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the different steps involved in determining medical radionuclides in these types of matrices. The methodologies presented are accompanied by examples.

Abstract
The administration of 99mTc-HDP to diagnose pulmonary thromboembolisms leads to the presence of 99mTc in the environment of a nuclear medicine department, which could pose a potential risk of internal contamination to medical staff. Therefore, air samples from the administration room, gamma camera room and corridor of such a department were taken for the purpose of performing a workplace monitoring program of the medical centre under study, with maximum activity values of 640 ± 30 kBq/m3, 1.5 ± 0.1 kBq/m3 and 54 ± 3 kBq/m3, respectively, being obtained. These results correspond to committed effective doses received by exposed employees, via inhalation, when one ventilation/perfusion single-photon emission tomography study was performed, of 0.7 μSv, 0.004 μSv and 0.2 μSv, respectively. As inhalation is the employees' main exposure pathway to radio-aerosols, the internal dose of the nuclear medicine department's medical staff was also evaluated via urine bioassay measurements. Nuclear medicine nurses showed the highest 99mTc activity in 24-h urine samples (2100 ± 130 Bq/day), resulting in a committed effective dose of 21 μSv for each diagnostic study performed. Even so, the performance of ventilation/perfusion diagnostic studies did not constitute a substantial radiological risk since the annual dose limit for exposed employees was not exceeded.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess risk factors for multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDR-PA) infection in neutropenic patients. METHODS Single-centre retrospective analysis of consecutive bloodstream infection (BSI) episodes (2004-2017, Barcelona). Two multivariate regression models were used at BSI diagnosis and P. aeruginosa detection. Significant predictors were used to establish rules for stratifying patients according to MDR-PA BSI risk. RESULTS Of 661 Gram-negative BSI episodes, 190 (28.7%) were caused by P. aeruginosa (70 MDR-PA). Independent factors associated with MDR-PA among Gram-negative organisms were haematological malignancy (OR 3.30; 95% CI 1.15-9.50), pulmonary source of infection (OR 7.85; 95% CI 3.32-18.56), nosocomial-acquired BSI (OR 3.52; 95% CI 1.74-7.09), previous antipseudomonal cephalosporin (OR 13.66; 95% CI 6.64-28.10) and piperacillin/tazobactam (OR 2.42; 95% CI 1.04-5.63), and BSI occurring during ceftriaxone (OR 4.27; 95% CI 1.15-15.83). Once P. aeruginosa was identified as the BSI aetiological pathogen, nosocomial acquisition (OR 7.13; 95% CI 2.87-17.67), haematological malignancy (OR 3.44; 95% CI 1.07-10.98), previous antipseudomonal cephalosporin (OR 3.82; 95% CI 1.42-10.22) and quinolones (OR 3.97; 95% CI 1.37-11.48), corticosteroids (OR 2.92; 95% CI 1.15-7.40), and BSI occurring during quinolone (OR 4.88; 95% CI 1.58-15.05) and β-lactam other than ertapenem (OR 4.51; 95% CI 1.45-14.04) were independently associated with MDR-PA. Per regression coefficients, 1 point was assigned to each parameter, except for nosocomial-acquired BSI (3 points). In the second analysis, a score >3 points identified 60 (86.3%) out of 70 individuals with MDR-PA BSI and discarded 100 (84.2%) out of 120 with non-MDR-PA BSI. CONCLUSIONS A simple score based on demographic and clinical factors allows stratification of individuals with bacteraemia according to their risk of MDR-PA BSI, and may help facilitate the use of rapid MDR-detection tools and improve early antibiotic appropriateness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the performance of differential time to positivity (DTP) for the diagnosis of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI). METHODS From all episodes of bloodstream infections (BSI) diagnosed during a 15-year period (2003-17) those in which a paired set of blood cultures drawn from a catheter and a peripheral vein were positive for the same microorganism and had a clinically and/or microbiologically defined source were selected. To assess diagnostic discrimination ability and accuracy of DTP for CRBSI, area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) and performance characteristics of a DTP ≥2 h were computed. RESULTS A total of 512 BSI were included, of which 302 (59%) were CRBSI. Discrimination ability of DTP was low for Staphylococcus aureus (AUC 0.656 ± 0.06), coagulase-negative staphylococci (AUC 0.618 ± 0.081), enterococci (AUC 0.554 ± 0.117) and non-AmpC-producing Enterobacteriaceae (AUC 0.653 ± 0.053); moderate for Pseudomonas aeruginosa (AUC 0.841 ± 0.073), and high for AmpC-producing Enterobacteriaceae (AUC 0.944 ± 0.039). For the entire sample, DTP had a low-to-moderate discrimination ability (AUC 0.698 ± 0.024). A DTP ≥2 h has a low sensitivity for coagulase-negative staphylococci (60%) and very low for S. aureus (34%), enterococci (40%) and non-AmpC-producing Enterobacteriaceae (42%). A DTP cut-off of 1 h improved sensitivity (90%) for AmpC-producing Enterobacteriaceae. CONCLUSIONS Differential time to positivity performs well for diagnosing CRBSI only when AmpC-producing Enterobacteriaceae and P. aeruginosa are involved. Performance is low for common Gram-positive organisms and non-AmpC-producing enteric bacilli; a negative test should not be used to rule out CRBSI due to these microorganisms. A DTP ≥1 h may improve accuracy for AmpC-producing Enterobacteriaceae, particularly Enterobacter spp.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of α-lipoic acid (α-LA) on liver mitochondrial bioenergetics and oxidative status for 8 weeks in normal-healthy animals. A pair-fed group was included to differentiate between α-LA direct effects and those changes due to reduced food intake. α-LA decreased body weight gain, liver weight and insulin levels with no differences compared to its pair-fed group. α-LA significantly reduced energy efficiency, the activity of the electron transport chain complexes and induced a lower efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation with reduced ATP production. α-LA supplementation directly decreased plasma triglycerides (TGs), free fatty acids and ketone bodies levels. A significant reduction in hepatic TG content was also observed. A significant up-regulation of Cpt1a, Acadl and Sirt3, all β-oxidation genes, along with a significant deacetylation of the forkhead transcription factor 3a (FOXO3A) was found in α-LA-treated animals. Thus, α-LA along with a standard chow diet has direct actions on lipid metabolism and liver by modulating mitochondrial function in normal-weight rats. These results should be taken into account when α-LA is administered or recommended to a healthy population.

Abstract
Human activity, such as the operation of nuclear power plants (NPPs) and the use of radionuclides in nuclear medicine, results in the presence of artificial radionuclides in surface waters, which may even reach potable water treatment plants (PWTPs) and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). In this study, water and sludge samples from a PWTP are radiologically monitored. The incoming water of the plant is influenced by the presence of an NPP upstream. Two WWTPs receiving wastewater from medical centres and other origins are also studied. As a result, 131I, 60Co and 137Cs have been determined in the dewatered sludge samples from the PWTP, while 131I, 99mTc, 67Ga and 111In were detected in the sludge samples from the WWTPs. The radionuclide activities in the influent water from the WWTPs studied were lower than the minimum detectable activity values. Therefore, on the basis of our results, the analysis of sludge samples is very useful as it enables the concentration of any radionuclides that may be present in the incoming water. Lastly, as higher activity of 131I was detected in the samples studied, the total effective dose was assessed for WWTP workers, as they handle dewatered sludge containing this radionuclide. It can be concluded that there is no risk in terms of total exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Fermented dairy products have been associated with a better diet quality and cardio-metabolic profile. However, in Mediterranean populations, these associations have not been well characterized. The aim of this study was to assess the diet quality and the associations between the consumption of total fermented dairy products and their subtypes and the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) components in a Mediterranean population at high cardiovascular risk. METHODS AND RESULTS Baseline cross-sectional analyses were conducted on 6,572 men and women (mean age: 65 years) with overweight or obesity and MetS recruited into the PREDIMED-Plus cohort. A 143-item Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) was used, and anthropometrical, biochemical, and blood pressure measurements were recorded. Multivariate-adjusted Cox regressions were fitted to analyze the association between quartiles of consumption of fermented dairy products and their subtypes and MetS components to estimate the relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Participants who were high consumers of fermented dairy products reported a higher consumption of fruit, vegetables, fish, nuts, and whole bread and a lower consumption of white bread, alcohol, and cookies. Participants in the higher quartile showed a lower prevalence of the low HDL-cholesterol component of the MetS (RR=0.88; 95% CI: 0.78-0.98) than those in the lowest quartile of cheese consumption. Cheese consumption was inversely associated with the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia. Total fermented dairy products, yogurt, and its types were not associated with any of the MetS components. CONCLUSIONS Compared to nonconsumers, participants consuming fermented dairy products reported a better diet quality and, particularly, cheese consumers presented a lower prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-cholesterol plasma levels, which are MetS components.

Abstract
Obesity is characterized by hypertrophy and hyperplasia of adipose tissue, which have been related to the development of hypoxia and insulin resistance. On the other hand, caveolin-1 (Cav-1), one of the main proteins of caveolae, promotes insulin receptor (IR) phosphorylation and the subsequent activation of insulin signaling. In this work we investigated the effect of hypoxia on Cav-1 regulation and the status of insulin signaling in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Our results showed that hypoxia inhibited adipogenesis and insulin signaling in adipocytes. Furthermore, 48 h of hypoxia reduced insulin-induced glucose uptake while increased basal glucose uptake. This result was consistent with the upregulation of glucose transporter GLUT1 and the downregulation of GLUT4, which also showed defective translocation to plasma membrane when adipocytes were stimulated with insulin. In addition, the expression of caveolae-related proteins was reduced by hypoxia and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay demonstrated that Cav-1 transcription was directly regulated by HIF-1. These results strengthen the role of caveolae in insulin signaling and help to explain adipocyte response to hypoxia.
